General Marking Guidance

All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners

must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the

last.

Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be

rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised

for omissions.

Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not

according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.

There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark

scheme should be used appropriately.

All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded.

Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer

matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award

zero marks if the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according

to the mark scheme.

Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the

principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be

limited.

When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the

mark scheme to a candidate’s response, the team leader must be

consulted.

Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has

replaced it with an alternative response.

Page 4: Mark Scheme (Results) January 2019 - PMT

Using the Mark Scheme

Examiners should look for qualities to reward rather than faults to penalise. This does

NOT mean giving credit for incorrect or inadequate answers, but it does mean allowing

candidates to be rewarded for answers showing correct application of principles and

knowledge. Examiners should therefore read carefully and consider every response: even

if it is not what is expected it may be worthy of credit.

The mark scheme gives examiners:

an idea of the types of response expected

how individual marks are to be awarded

the total mark for each question

examples of responses that should NOT receive credit.

/ means that the responses are alternatives and either answer should receive full

credit.

( ) means that a phrase/word is not essential for the award of the mark, but helps the

examiner to get the sense of the expected answer.

Phrases/words in bold indicate that the meaning of the phrase or the actual word is

essential to the answer.

ecf/TE/cq (error carried forward) means that a wrong answer given in an earlier part of a

question is used correctly in answer to a later part of the same question.

Candidates must make their meaning clear to the examiner to gain the mark. Make sure

that the answer makes sense. Do not give credit for correct words/phrases which are put

together in a meaningless manner. Answers must be in the correct context.

Quality of Written Communication

Questions which involve the writing of continuous prose will expect candidates to:

write legibly, with accurate use of spelling, grammar and punctuation in order to make

the meaning clear

select and use a form and style of writing appropriate to purpose and to complex

subject matter

organise information clearly and coherently, using specialist vocabulary when

appropriate.

Full marks will be awarded if the candidate has demonstrated the above abilities.

Questions where QWC is likely to be particularly important are indicated (QWC) in the

mark scheme, but this does not preclude others.

An answer that makes reference to the following:

the range of numbers / 1402 to 64362 is too large (to fit

on a graph / axis)

or

logarithms make it easier to plot the numbers

Allow:

A (very) long y axis would be needed (Some of)

electron is lost from a full (2p) orbital (1)

Nitrogen

nitrogen (atom) loses an electron from a singly-

occupied orbital

or nitrogen

(1)

Repulsion

there is (more) repulsion between paired electrons

(than between electrons in different orbitals so less

energy is required to remove the electron in oxygen)

(1)

Penalise mention of incorrect orbital e.g. 3p once

only

Ignore any reference to nuclear charge / numbers of

protons / shielding / atomic radius

Allow M1 and M2 from diagrams showing electrons

Answer Additional guidance Mark

24(c)(i)

all 4 ion formulae (1)

all 4 (corresponding) m / z values (1)

Example of answer:

ions m / z

N(35Cl)3+ 119

N(35Cl)237Cl+ 121

N35Cl(37Cl)2+ 123

Allow any other unambiguous way of representing

the formulae e.g. in words

Allow (1) for any two m / z values with

corresponding ion formulae

Ignore missing / incorrect charge on ion

Ignore mass number on N

Ignore bonds or + between Cl atoms / order of

atoms

e.g. N-35Cl-35Cl-35Cl

Question

number

Answer Additional guidance Mark

24(d)(i)

An explanation that makes reference to one of the following pairs

of points:

Polarisation route

an aluminium ion / cation is (very) small and highly charged

or

Al3+ has a small ionic radius / is small (1)

so it polarises / distorts the chloride ion / Cl− / anion (1)

Allow

Electronegativity route

there is a (relatively) small difference in electronegativity between

aluminium and chlorine (1)

so the electrons are (partially) shared (1)

Marks must come from the same route

– maximum 1 mark if one point from

one route and one point from the other

route

Allow the aluminium ion has a high

charge density

Allow a description of polarisation

Allow chlorine anion / ion

Ignore the aluminium chloride is

polarised

Ignore size of chloride ion

Question

number

Answer Additional guidance Mark

24(d)(ii)

A description including the following points:

diagram showing two AlCl3 molecules joined through two chlorine

atoms (1)

dative (covalent) bonds

or

coordinate bonds (1)

Example of diagram:

Allow dot-and-cross diagram

Ignore missing arrow heads and lone

pairs from diagram

Do not award diagram with Al-Al / Cl-Cl

bond(s)

Allow dative covalent bonds labelled on

diagram / shown as arrows from Cl to

Al

Allow description of dative bonds

Allow M2 even if only 1 dative bond

shown / mentioned

Do not award M2 if dative bonds

starting from aluminium

Do not award M2 for any answer that

mentions ions / ionic bonds
